AUG 1, 2012, Wednesday; Drummond’Ville
Cloudy, very warm and humid! Gilles is home so no more baby-sitting. Another uneventful day; reading, swimming and
just trying to keep cool. I heard from
Lupien RV who has received the parts for the rig and I made an appointment for
Monday the 13th to have the rig go in for repair. Sure looking forward to that as we are still
thinking of going to NFLD.We had left over lasagna and noodles for dinner and since Gilles and Lise were here for HH, we invited them to join us. We sat around the table outside in the evening and proceeded to drink too much and got into a “heated discussion” on Quebec politics. They are passionate about their politics but I held my grounds!!! To bed around 11 pm and still friends
Hot and humid! We went to town for a while but otherwise, this was another relaxing day with not much to report
Hot and humid again! This morning, I made reservations for the ferry to Newfoundland ($735 return) for the 17th of this month. We will be going over for 3 weeks, returning the 10th of September. I hope the weather cooperates. After dinner, we were sitting at the table outside and Gilles and Lise came over for coffee. A while later, we had a surprise visit from Gaetan and Josette and her brother Alain and his wife whose name escapes me right now. It was a pleasant evening.
We were up early and packed to stay overnight, just in case! I went over to Gilles and hooked up his utility trailer and came home, picked up Val and we were on the road by 11:15 am. I stopped at a Tim Horton for breakfast and fuelled up @ $1.30. We went on to my sister’s place in St-Hubert where we met Gilles and picked up a winter garage which Michel doesn’t need any more. From here, we all went to Andre in St-Basil near Beloeil on the west shore of the Richelieu River. Gaetan and Christiane were already there and Josette and Susan showed up around 4 pm as they worked today. The first order of the day was a dip in the pool as it was extremely hot and humid. We spent more time in the pool then out. Andre gave us a tour of his house and all the work he had done inside; absolutely gorgeous! We had a very nice BBQ (we all brought our own meat) and chocolate cake for dessert. After clearing the table, the party began. Gaetan had a set of music on his laptop with outside speaker so the sound was great. We had lot of fun and laughter. A great time was had by all! As all good things, we had to end it and everyone left around midnight and drove back to their respective home. We were invited by Michel and Therese to spend the night at their place but Val wanted her own bed so we came home. It got quite windy as we drove on Hwy 20 back to Drummond’Ville.
Hot, Humid and very windy; It is 27*C at 9 am. It was cloudy and windy most of the day and around 4 pm we had a thunder storm and rain come through the area. It poured and poured for about an hour with the rain almost horizontal with the force of the wind. Needless to say, we had dinner inside for the first time in over a month. We watched the tube for a while then it was bedtime.
